"That was rather...peculiar."

submission: Fart Button

date: December 4, 2006

I wasn't exactly sure what to expect when I saw a movie with the title "Fart Button." Although I like the movie's content, I question the title. Perhaps you can change the Flash's title to something a little more pertinent.

Score: 5

"Long live old school!"

submission: number munchers

date: July 16, 2005

I remember this game from the 80s or early 90s. I like the way you were able to compress the game into the small filesize, but I recommend making everything pixel-based to make it look even more authentic.

"Nice work..."

submission: Sonic - I Wanna' Fly

date: July 1, 2005

...but I do have some suggestions for improvement. First, it's obvious to me that you transposed your width and height when you entered your file's information. Switch those around, and it'll make the movie look larger, as well as remove those unsightly margins. Second, I'm not sure if the end of the movie is supposed to run concurrent with the music or not, but the music cut short about six or seven seconds before the movie was over. Third, I suggest lowering the quality of your background audio file. I understand that it may be important, but you can save a megabyte or two this way on movie filesize. And fourth, the animation looked a little jerky in places. I don't know if that's my computer's fault or the movie's fault, but look into it.

Don't let this get you down. You did well.

Score: 6

"Much better trailer than the original."

submission: Death of Tails: Trailer 2

date: June 30, 2005

The animation was a lot smoother, and the music was pretty good. The last animated part really seemed suspenceful, but I guess most trailers are like that.

After all this, I do anticipate seeing the actual movie. But I suggest uploading the real thing overtop this trailer -- that is, unless YOU feel that the two should be separate.

Score: 5

"Not bad, but I've seen better."

submission: America: F**K YEAH!

date: June 16, 2005

Sorry to disappoint you, but this is not the best Flash rendering of that song I've seen. (My personal favourite is the one on the Drunk Report's website.) The same images were used over and over again, and it got a little boring after a while.

Score: 6

"Impressive work."

submission: Sonic Tribute

date: June 12, 2005

I liked the way you were able to synchronise the animation with the various tunes from the mix. I must point out several anomalies I found, however.

The movie seemed to be a little slower in parts, but I'm not sure if the movie or my computer was the culprit. Also, why did you use Tails sprites from Sonic 2? It looked inconsistent with everything else. And furthermore, could you tell me where Tails was in that "Death of Tails" bit? Is it supposed to just stop in mid-fight?

Please fix these errours, if that's what you perceive them to be.

Score: 7

"Excellent work."

submission: Tails and his GBA 2

date: May 31, 2005

I've seen both episodes, and I anticipate the third one. I admire your sprite work and animation skills (I could never begin to compare!) The only negative thing I have to say is that some of the dialogue was hard to read -- use a different font or different colour schemes.

BTW, just how do you customise that right-click menu? I've been trying to do that for a while.

Score: 7

"Great little game."

submission: Sonic Boom Cannon

date: May 26, 2005

I liked this game because I am a fan of sprites and Sonic games. The graphics are pretty self-explanatory, although I found distasteful the combination of 16-bit and 32-bit sprites on the same screen. (I understand that it may have been necessary, but nevertheless.) The background song got kinda annoying after a while -- put in some way to turn it on and off. The only violence in the game would be that of launching the characters, as well as them hitting the floating mines and spinning blades. I found the poses the characters strike when they hit something rather humourous.

The game seemed to get boring after I got all the characters and the emeralds. And by the way, I'm not sure what you mean by "secret ending." If you mean the one with Eggman (I don't want to give it away), I finished it.

Score: 7

"Nice work!"

submission: Numa Sprita dance

date: May 12, 2005

This combines two things I like -- video games and the Numa Numa Dance. You did some nice work animating the sprites to synchronise with the music. The auras that surrounded some of the characters (namely Luigi) were psychadelic.

Again, nice work. I'm currently honing my Flash skills so that I would be able to make something like this (but by then the Numa craze would be over).

Score: 6

"No offence, but it was about time!"

submission: Imp episode 21

date: January 12, 2005

I've been waiting for this particular episode for a while now. At least it explains several recent events in the IMP (I do follow the stories behind the cartoons).

However, it contains some anachronisms. I'm not sure if this cartoon was made that way purposely, but I knew (from looking at HB's art) that the idea of lil' Brany existed a long time before this cartoon.

Also, I question your adding new characters into the cartoons. You haven't really added any new characters over the past episodes, and when I saw this for the first time, I felt disoriented because the beginning was nothing but new characters.

I have grown accustomed to your style of drawing, which is why I don't criticise the graphics as much as other people. The voices (and their subtitles) were hard to understand at times; I understand, however, that this was done necessarily to keep the Flash within filesize limits. The violence, which is present in nearly every IMP cartoon, gives it a nice touch of humour when in the right places. The other humour, however, lied in the fact that Bustin and HB are such pervs and the corny fight scenes between those two new characters. (By the way, will they appear in any subsequent episodes?)

My attitude towards your Flash creations have changed over time. I strongly encourage you to keep making these, and I anticipate your next creation.

[Note to self: this is the longest review I've given to any NG material!]
